The riding area includes Spanish Mountain area, which is in the Flour Mills area (part of Wells Gray Park), which is closed Feb. 15. Northwest of that is the Mica Mountain Snowmobile Riding Area and it’s an Intermediate-plus riding area because of the difficulty of the trail and terrain to get up into the area.
This is a mountain caribou area managed by the Mountain Caribou Recovery Program, so everybody needs to stay in bounds.
The area is signed and there are significant maps and avalanche information at the recreation site at the trail head. It’s highly recommended riders carry probes, shovels and peeps (transmitters) and know how to use them.
It is an interesting area and very scenic – an all-day experience.
Clubhouse: There is a Recreational Site building at the end of the 7000 Road just past Spanish Lake
